ABSTRACT:
A turbocharger-gas turbine for an internal combustion engine operable in multiple modes in a manner reducing heat losses. The turbocharger-gas turbine includes a compressor for delivering compressed air to the internal combustion engine. The compressor has a compressor housing defining an air flow path leading from an air inlet to an air outlet at opposite ends thereof. The air outlet of the compressor is in communication with an air inlet of the internal combustion engine to deliver compressed air thereto. The turbocharger-gas turbine also includes a turbine for driving the compressor to compress air for delivery to the internal combustion engine. The turbine has a turbine housing defining a gas flow path leading from a gas inlet to a gas outlet at opposite ends thereof. The gas inlet of the turbine is in communication with the gas outlet of the internal combustion engine for receiving gas therefrom. The turbocharger-gas turbine further includes an auxiliary burner for increasing the energy of gas passing through the turbine. The auxiliary burner is operatively associated with the gas inlet of the turbine and the turbine housing is disposed substantially entirely within the compressor housing. With this arrangement, the turbine housing is cooled by air passing through the compressor housing from the air inlet to the air outlet thereof.
